Bible Question (short): What about these scriptures? |
Question (full): I ask you these things and bring these scriptures to your attention because God showed me something awhile back that I had never seen before. I believed very similarly to the way you all do now. But He showed me that I was believing is a lie, and then He showed me the truth. Please consider these things, because if you see the same things He showed me, then I want you to allow Him to show you the rest of what He showed me. It’s priceless. You say "Does that mean we will never sin, no..." Evaluate for yourself, does that agree with these scriptures? WHOSOEVER BELIEVETH THAT JESUS IS THE CHRIST IS BORN OF GOD: and every one that loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of him. (1 John 5:1) Whosoever is born of God DOTH NOT COMMIT SIN; for his seed remaineth in him: and HE CANNOT SIN, because he is born of God. (1 John 3:9) You say “the Holy spirit will make us feel UNCOMFORTABLE”. Evaluate for yourself, does that agree with this scripture? If ye love me, keep my commandments. And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another COMFORTER, THAT HE MAY ABIDE WITH YOU FOR EVER; EVEN THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. (John 14:15-17) comforter : one that gives comfort uncomfortable : 1 : causing discomfort or annoyance [an uncomfortable chair] [an uncomfortable performance] 2 : feeling discomfort : UNEASY [was uncomfortable with them] For these things I weep; mine eye, mine eye runneth down with water, BECAUSE **THE COMFORTER** THAT SHOULD RELIEVE MY SOUL IS FAR FROM ME: my children are desolate, because the enemy prevailed. (Lamentations 1:16) You say “How far do we have to go to reach the condition of Hebrews 10:26? I don’t know nor do I want to know.” I believe you are speaking the truth, in that, that you don’t seem to want to know, because the scriptures plainly state how far we have to go: For IF WE SIN WILFULLY AFTER THAT WE HAVE RECEIVED THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE TRUTH, [[OR KNOWING BETTER]] there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, (Hebrews 10:26) Maybe you would say, like I used to, that if the guy in Numbers 15 had just had a truly repentant heart, and truly had godly sorrow, and was sincere, with tears, that he would have turned back to God and God would have forgiven him. Don’t ask me, let’s ask what God says about this: What is it that the bible says that we are to repent of? Sin, right? What about this scripture: For ***IT IS IMPOSSIBLE*** for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come, [[THESE KNEW BETTER]] If they shall fall away, ***TO RENEW THEM AGAIN UNTO REPENTANCE***; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame. (Hebrews 6:4-6) But maybe I’m not reading that right. We need a clear example: Looking diligently LEST ANY MAN FAIL OF THE GRACE OF GOD; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled; Lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright. For ye know how that **AFTERWARD**, when he would have inherited the blessing, **HE WAS REJECTED** [[did Esau reject God? Or did God reject Esau???]]: for ***HE FOUND NO PLACE OF REPENTANCE***, THOUGH HE SOUGHT IT CAREFULLY WITH TEARS. (Hebrews 12:15-17) Should I believe you or should I believe the scriptures? What about Hebrews 10:26, Hebrews 6:4-6, and Numbers 15:27-36 with regard to what you have told me about how to get into heaven? |
